| I like to make little nifty scripts for various things (Lua for Windows btw), mainly because it's so easy to work with :3 |

I like to make batch files in my spare time, when I'm really bored...
1. Type this in on notepad!
echo off
color 0C
echo Isn't this a wonderful?
:This Start "Program" /MAX /HIGH /I /Program.bat goto This
2. Save as: Program.bat
It won't work if saved as otherwise.
3. Enjoy! :3

| There's always the Corona SDK which also uses Lua, and in and object oriented style like Roblox. There's probably a few people here who've played with that. |

I use Lua for almost everything. Most for school projects tough. All those noobs at school are doing 1 hour for processing their data. I write script (2 min) then put in data (copy and paste) and hit execute. Ah. There is my data.

I do.
I use wLua to make windowed applications, and pure Lua to do single processes such as creating a file and giving it a special content, and the Lua command line to do quick calculations and tests. |

I use Lua in game engines. It is a shame to use it anywhere else IMHO, simply because in my experiance. JavaScript and Python both do better jobs, and they can both be easily interpreted. |

| I had plans to use Lua as the scripting language for my game engine. I might abandon that, though. |

@su8
don't u liek mah forim enjin?
@OP
I used it as a replacement for shell scripting, but it's become obvious to me that Ruby is better suited to that task.
OT: Java -> Compiled bytecode -> XML -> Lua? |

^ I almost did, but then I outsmarted him.
Did it crash your computer or did it just slow it down?

Another cool trick: this one won't harm your computer, in any way.
1. Go on: Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off
Then, enable 'Telnet Client'
2. Open up the command prompt.
3. Type in:
Telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
